Why does the vSphere desktop client take so long to authenticate if you enter the wrong password?
If you enter your password correctly, you get in within a second or so. On the other hand, if you mistype your password it'll spend a good 10-15 seconds trying to connect before giving you an error message. What makes these 2 cases so different?
In most other programs, a wrong password check is slightly faster than a successful login since there's no follow-up action needed.
